I think the best compliment you can receive is not, ‘Oh, that was really funny,’ but, ‘Is that the first time you said that?’ It’s something that you’ve said a thousand times, but if somebody says to you, ‘Oh my God, is that the first time you’ve done that?’ you know that performance was where you wanted it.
It’s such a huge honor and compliment when someone tells me I’m their hero… but, why me?
People pay far too much attention to the television and they’re quite literal in some ways.

I was really touched when I reached the sets of ‘Padmaavat’ and I greeted Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He hugged me, held my hand high and told everyone, ‘Razasaab is with us again. I cannot think of a film without Razasaab!’ That was such a big compliment for me.
